Offering stunning views of the awe-inspiring Newlands Valley, this reverse-level property makes a welcoming holiday home for six guests, and has ample space for a pair of four-legged friends. Ideal for keen walkers, climbers, cyclists and nature lovers exploring the Lake District, this pretty retreat is within easy reach of many of the area’s most popular sites including Keswick, Buttermere and Causey Pike. Perfect for families and friends, this imaginatively converted former corn mill is one of a pair of cottages that can be booked together by larger groups eager to discover this breathtaking region.
Entering this light-filled and welcoming property, the ground floor features a long entrance hall and two peaceful ground-floor bedrooms: a double and a twin with garden views. The first floor features the final bedroom – a pretty double – along with a stylish family bathroom and a handy shower room. The first-floor open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides an ideal space for everyone to gather, chat about the day, cook a family meal and relax with a good book or favourite movie. Stepping outside, the patio and picnic benches offer a choice of lovely spots for dining alfresco and admiring the spellbinding views. There’s a front garden shared with the neighbouring cottage, and the back garden leads down to private woodlands, an unfenced millpond (children should be supervised) and a path leading out into the Cumbrian countryside.
Within easy reach of the vibrant town of Keswick (4 miles), the Newlands Valley is a fantastic base for dogs and their owners, with popular local destinations including Whinlatter Forest Park, the Puzzling Place and the grounds at Mirehouse (all within 7 miles). The nearest lakes are Derwentwater (2 miles), Bassenthwaite Lake, Crummock Water and Buttermere (all within 6 miles), all offering miles of wonderful walks and glorious scenery.
